Im doing this to guide authors where specific content is needed. Look out for adding content especially relevant to biology. History of biology is empty and it would be good to create totally CZ content there. David Tribe 16:05, 26 January 2007 (CST)


? How influential was Pierce? Popper claimed not to have read him, so I wonder whether his work had as much impact as is suggested? Hobbes I guess needs mention. What about the role of the church? The church both promoted scientific advance while at the same time constraining it - I think the rebellion against religious dogma was an important stage in the evolution of scientific method, and echoes from Galileo to Darwin and TH Huxley. What about prehistoric science - the astronomical calculations involved in prehistoric constructions imply a very sophisticated systems of observation, recording and inductive reasoning from these. Just some thoughts.Gareth Leng 17:46, 26 January 2007 (CST)
